As the market for organic products expands globally and organic production grows, we are seeing developments and/or modification to organic standards in both producer and importer countries worldwide. These include China, Brazil, Switzerland, Korea, Mexico, and others. CCOF remains engaged with the Organic Trade Association (OTA), the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, and others to address market barriers and solve import and export issues for CCOF clients. We are continuing to try to eliminate paperwork and verification barriers wherever possible.
